PRICE-TICKET nonniain Application filed April 11,

present invention is an improvement over the device illustrated in the Patent Number 1,768,715 granted to HermannHopp and Leo Hopp, uly'l, 1930.

It is one of the objects of the invention to provide a novel price ticket holder in which 19 both the price and description of the merpearance.

chandise offered for sale may be displayed.

It is a further object of the invention'to provide a device of the aforementioned character which will be neat and uniform in ap- It is a further object of the invention to provide a multiple display price ticket holder which may be formed entirely from sheet metal, and which is of such construction that so even though relatively light and soft material may be used in its manufacture, the same will be of a rigid character, and Wlll not bend or distort during the operation of placing or removing tickets relatively thereto. \Vhile the invention is herein illustrated embodied in a price ticket holder of the type adapted to be attached directly to the article of merchandisein connection with which it is displayed, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to use in this connection alone, but may be applied to price. ticket holders adapted for attachment to shelves on which the merchandise is dis-' played, or to containers in which it is carried.

In the accompanying drawing, which illustrates the invention in what may be termed its preferred forms,

Figure 1. is a perspective view of a price ticket holder constructed in accordance. with one form of the present invention,

Figure 2, is an edge view thereof,

Figure 3, is a plan view thereof, and;

Figure 1, is an edge view of a slightly modified form of the invention.

In that form of the invention illustrated in' Figures 1 to 3 inclusive, the price ticket holder comprises a main body portion 5, divided into ticket carrying sections 6 and 7 of which the ticket section 6 is preferably the smaller. V

1930i see-i1 No. new; I r

The body portion 5 is preferably of elongated rectangular shape, and it is divided into the ticket carrying "sections 6 and 7-, by a transversely extending double ticket guide member 8, the ticket receiving channels of which are disposed in opposite directions.

The body portion'5, is preferably formed by suitably securing'together two members 9 and 10, preferably of sheet metal, eyelets or rivets 11 being employed for this purpose.

The member 9,'is provided along one of its edges with a ticket guiding flangelQ, pro-- viding a ticket receiving space'12. 'In this form of the invention, the double ticket guide member 8 is formed upon the edge opposed to that edge upon which the guide flange 12 is formed, to provide a ticket receiving space 14, and by again bending said edgere'versely 'as at 15 to provide an oppositely disposed ticket receiving space 16. I

The member 10 is bent over along one edge as at 17, to provide a ticket retaining flange 18, and a ticket receiving space 19 which latter is opposed to the ticket receiving space16'. I

This construction provides opposed ticket receiving spaces 12 and 14- for theticket section 7, and opposed ticket receiving spaces 16 and 19 for the ticket section 6.

' In order to'position'the ticket receiv'ing space 19 in the-same plane as that'of the ticket receiving space 16, the member 10' is preferably oifset as at 20, and while this construction throws the two ticket carrying sections in two different planes, it permits the tickets to lie flat against their respective ticket carrying sections, thereby prcsentingja neat zqgpearance.

' In u'se',price tickets such as 21 are'prefer ably carried by the section '7, and descriptive 2 tickets such as 22 indicating the character of the merchandise offered for sale, may be'carried'by'the section 6. 'In'addition to the sevoral ticket retaining flanges, lugs 23, preferably struck froin the members 9 and 10 may be employed to prevent accidental displacement of the ticketsin a lateral direction and one. ormore edges of the sections, hand 7 may bewcut out asiat 24, to facilitate insertion and removal of the tickets, for example, as shown in the prior patent to Hopp and Hopp, Number 1,398,782, of November 29, 1921,

In that form of the invention illustrated in Figure 4, the body portion of the price ticket holder is formed of two members 30 and 31 of suitable material, preferably sheet metal, said membersbeing secured together by eyelets, rivets or the like 32.

In this form of the invention, the member 30 is provided on two opposed edges with ticket retaining-flanges 33'- and- 34, providing plane as the ticket receiving space 40. This form of device is also preferably'provided with ticket retaining lugs 23 and cut out portions 24; asiin. the heretofore described form of the invention, and for the purposes therein set forth.

While thei-nvention has been shown in what at present may be termed the preferred fonms thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific construction herein illustrated and described, but that the invention is capable of embodiment in other forms, which may fall within the perview of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is:

1. A multiple display price ticket holder, comprising two ticket carrying portions arranged in different planes, a ticket retaining flange defining one ofthe out-,ercdges of each of said ticket carrying portions, and two oppositely disposed ticket retaining flanges formed on. one of said body portions, and arranged. one in the ticket carrying plane of each ticket carrying portion.

2. A multiple display price ticket holder comprising two ticket carrying portions arranged in different planes, a ticket retaining flange defining one of the outer edges of each of said ticket carrying portions, and-two oppositely disposed ticket retaining flanges formed on one of said ticket carrying portions, and arranged one in the ticket carry ing plane of each ticket carrying portion, said ticket carrying portions comprising separate members secured together, one of said members beingo-flFset along a transverse line-correspondingto-the adjacent edge of the other member.

3: A multipleidisplay price ticket holder comprising a main bodyportion, a ticket retain-ing; flange defining one edge of said-body P W-0- oppositely disposed. ticket taining flanges defining the opposite edge of said body portion, one of said flanges overlying the other flange, and an auxiliary ticket holder comprising a body portion carried by said main body portion, and a ticket retaining flange defining one edge of said auxiliary ticket holder, and co-operating with one of said two oppositely disposed ticket retaining flanges to retain a ticket upon the auxiliary ticket holder.

4. A deviceof thecharacter described comprising a ticket carrying member, a ticket retaining flange defining each of opposite sides of said, ticket carrying member, an op positely disposed ticket retaining flange formed as anVe-Xtension of one of said first mentioned ticket retaining flanges and overlying the same, and a second ticket carrying member carried by said first mentionedticket carrying member, and having a ticket retaining flange co-operating with one of said two ticket retaining flanges toretaina ticket upon the secondmentioned ticket carrying member.

5. A- device of the characterdescribed comprising two members secured together in overlapped:relation, a ticket retaining flange upon an outer-edge of: each of said members, and a'pair of oppositely disposed ticket retaining flanges upon the inner edge of one of said members, and coacting with said first mentioned ticket retaining flanges to retain a plurality of tickets in display position.

6. A device of the-character ClBSCllbGd'COHlprising two members secured together in overlapped relation, a ticket. retaining flange upon an outer edge of each of saidmembers, and a pair of oppositely disposed ticket retaining flanges integral with the inner edge of one of said members and coacting with said first mentioned ticket retaining flanges to retain a plurality of tickets in display position.
